BREVARD, NORTH
Welcome to Brevard,! Woodmen of The World
MISS BRINKLEY IS
DECLARED WINNER
IN NEWS CONTEST
Editorial Writing Contest Proved
Most Successful ? Winner's Sub
ject Was "Obscene Literature'*
OTHERS RECEIVE PRAISE
OF THE COMMITTEE
Hoped That Contestants Will De
velop Talent For Newspaper
Work in the Future
Miss Pearl Brinkley has been de
clared the Winner in the Editorial
Writing Contest conducted by The
News. All contestants are given high
praise for their contributions by
the committee which decided the con
test.
The committee chosen were men
of education and real newspaper ex
perience. All the editorials were
submitted to the committee and no
member of The Brevard News force
had any part in deciding the winner.
The statement of the committee
follows :
Editor The Brevard News:
"We have gone carefully over the
papers submitted in the editorial
contest of The Brevard News. Ev
ery one was interesting and showed
a hie', i average of intelligence.
"The prize is awarded to Miss
Pearl Brinkley for her editorial on
"Obscene Literature." This paper
shows a logical mind, good reasoning
powers, and is a graphic presenta
tion of a problem that is causing
widespread comment.
"Two editorials we liked, very
much were "Much Used; Much
A"bused," by Weilt Duckworth, re
ferring to cart-less people throwing
trash on the streets, and "Don't De
stroy the Trees," by Clifford Mon
teith. These, with the winning con
tribution, were pure editorials,
whereas if we were selecting the best
?piece of literature or descriptive es
say, the prize would, in all probabil
ity have been awarded to one of the
other competitors.
The News congratulates Miss
Brinkley, for she won her laurels
over able contestants. Those who
tried and failed to be awarded the
prize are not losers at all. They had
the will to make the effort, and that
great possession is worth much to
any young man or young woman.
The object of . The News in offer
ing this prize for the best edit6rial
written by a school pupil in the Tran
sylvania schools was to encourage
any such student who' had an ambi
tion to become an editorial writer.'
Out yonder in .the future this writer
fully expects to read and enjoy edi
torials and special articles written
by some of the fine boys and girls
who had their first experience in
nev/rpaper work in the editorial con
test of The Brevard News in March,
1U27.
Such is our hope ? and such will
be our reward.

THE PRAYER CORNER
MOVING DAY"
"Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred and from thy
fathers "house." ? Gen. 12:1.
Is not Moving Day in all our cal
endars?
Is it not a symbol of the unexempt
condition of our mortal pilgrimage?
From house to house we move, but
that sign signifies little, if we do not
overburden ourselves with rubbish.
From youth to age we move, but
that is not fatal, if we do not over
load ourselves with prejudices.
From opinion to opinion we move,
but that is natural, if we are not
forced to do it in haste.
The man who thinks when old,
precisely tne same 011 all points as he
thought when young, is not a con
servative. He is an obstacle. Sys
tems, theories, idolatries, are thTiigs
to be left behind on Moving Day.
They will not fit the new house.
But three things are worth carrying
with us on >all earthly migrations,
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
THE GOLDEN RULE
and the faithful saying that ?
CHRIST .1ESUS CA ME INTO THE
WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS.
A PRAYER FOR MOVING DAY
Father of Lights in whom is 110
variableness, neither shadow or
turning, we thank Thee that every
giiod till t and evjry perfect sift is
from above, and cometh down from
Thee, who changeth not in vhis
world where change and decay on
all around we see.
We yield Thee hearty thanks, O
Lord, our GoJ for Thy great good
lies* to us in the condition of our
mortal pilgrimage from which we are
not exempt, the condition of miving:
from house to house, from youth to ;
age, from opinion to opinion; merci
fully assist us, at such times in every
duty we liave to do. and vouchsafe 1
to be our companion. '.-very day. from
morning to night, and night to morn- 1
ing. that we may love Thy presence ]
and walk in it vigilantly, and being;
delivered from ail errors and adver
sitii-', may joyfully serve Thee in
;:1! ?voodly quietness and, prant us
I p \<r ail the days of our life.
Ai-ide with us. Lord Jesus, in all
the ohi'.njres and chan.es of our mor

Praise 1 hose Who Are Cleaning Up,
and Intimate Hard Life for Those
Who Kail to Do Likewise
CLEAN UI' AND KEEP
THE TOWN CLEANED UP
Is the Motto of This Enthusiastic
Group of Women- ? Committees
Appointed for Work
"Clean-up and kei-p it up" was the
slogan particularly -tressed at the
May meeting of the Woman's Kurc iu
held Monday afternoon, which was
fittingly in keeping with the clean-up
campaign now in progress jn the
town.
Ladies present were enthusiastic
over the outcome of the week's cam
paign for a cleaner town, and ex
pressed themselves as especially de
sirous of continuing the campaign 'at
least through the summer months.
The members pledged themselves to
do all in their power in working to
ward this goal, and to cooperate with
the mayor and town officials in any
way possible for a cleaner and more
beautiful Brevard.
Expressions were heard from ilia
ladies to the effect that they .vouM
be willing and glad to go so far as
to don working apparel and be seen
along the business streets with broom
and pick, providing 3U"'". :? ideure
was necessary in order to brinf a"bout
a cleaner and more attractive town,
particularly from now until th close
i f the tourist season.
Mayor T. W. Whitmire wa- pres
ent at this meeting and pledge*! his
support to any movement alor. ; this
line ol' cleaning and beautifyi: s the
town that the Bureau might se fit
'to make, leaving as his | srting
words of encouragement in the mat
ter, "Go to it, I'm with you."
A committee was appointed *>y the
'president, Mrs. O. L. Erwin, as a
j permanent clean-up committee to
.work in any way they see fit toward
keeping the streets and vacant lots
clean, empowering the nvemb rg to
appoint such sub-committees as nec
essary for successful operations. The
committee follows: Mrs. D. L. Eng
lish, Mrs. T. H. Shipman, Mrs. R. B.
Lyon, Mrs. H A Plummet-, Mrs J. W.
Smith.
The subject was stressed and some
i discussion followed regarding the
matter of every member of the Bu
reau, and any others interested,
| planting now a varied assortment of
flower ' seeds around their pr:mis.;s
for the purpose of having flowers
ready to enter in the flower show ex
hibition to be sponsored by the
Bureau during the coming sumr ier.
